In addition to the film, “TRACE (Tracing Rare African Canadian Extraordinaire)”, the new single from Sonia Aimy being released on February 17th, was written and recorded as the theme song for the documentary. The inspiration for the song comes from the TRACE project itself--the desire to discover true role models who do a lot for their community but do not boast about their actions. The afrobeat genre at its core follows a similar principle; allow the instrumentals to speak to the narrative while the vocals are simply an added flourish. “It inspired me to focus on the musical arrangement that will balance the TRACE beautiful narratives”, says Sonia.
